Prediction on match CS2 Virtus.pro - GamerLegion

Welcome to EGamersWorld.

We continue to watch professional Counter-Strike 2 in its various forms. This time we're talking about what's happening at ESL Challenger Jonkoping 2023, where the play-offs are coming up.

We have two names of two play-offs participants left to find out. Among the contenders are Vp and GamerLegion.

The teams will play in the last match of Group B and we will try to find out which of them will be stronger and will qualify for the main stage of the ESL Challenger Jonkoping 2023 tournament, and who will have to say goodbye to the possibility to qualify for ESL Pro League Season 19.

Let's go.

Form Vp

Initiating the match analysis with a focus on VP's form, let's examine how they've been performing. In this CSGO gambling matchup, they are positioned as the number one team with odds to win hovering around 1.4.

At the beginning of the year Vp played in three TIR tournaments. These were BB Playlist. Urbanistic, BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023: European RMR A, and also BB Playlist. Freeddom. At the two "home" championships from BB Vp were in the top 8, but at the European RMR everything was even less happy - top 14.

Then Vp made a breakthrough by winning at ESL Challenger Katowice 2023. The victory there allowed them to qualify for ESL Pro League Season 18.

Among the victories, CCT Online Finals #2 is also worth mentioning. They beat Team Spirit in the grand finals and earned $100,000, which is pretty good.

• Vp lineup: Jame, FL1T, fame, n0rb3r7, mir.

Before ESL Pro League Season 18 Vp visited Gamers8, where they didn't get further than the top 8, and Dunav Party LAN, where in the grand finals they got revenge for their defeat on CCT by Spirit.

In the first match of EPL Season 18, Vp's opponent was Team Liquid. The match, as expected, ended in a full-fledged, combative Bo3 with Vp winning 2-1.

Next up, VP played G2 Esports and legitimately Ledgeili, though they fought back and took the map. The defeat sent Vp to the lower grid, where they first beat Eternal Fire and then outplayed Liquid again, thus reaching the EPL play-offs.

Vp did not manage to play in the main stage. Vp lost their first match against 9z Team, which was a rather unexpected result. At the end of the EPL S18 Vp finished in the top 16.

Things are going well at the Roobet Cup. Vp won the first match against their compatriots from Spirit with a score of 2-1. Next up was a battle with Movistar Riders to qualify for the Roobet Cup 2023 play-offs, which ended 2-0 in Vp's favour, a solid 2-0.

The Roobet Cup 2023 itself was the pulse of Vp's triumph. They beat Monte 2-1 in the grand final, earning their first major win in a long time. Later, Thunderpick World Championship 2023 was held, where Vp also reached the final, but they failed to defeat FaZe and as a result - 0-2.

They debuted at ESL Challenger Jonkoping 2023 with a victory over Looking4Org, who later became 3DMAX. Next was a long match with MIBR, which Vp Ledge defeated 22-25.

Vp Mapple

The best map for Vp remains Ancient, where Vp won 3 maps out of 3 played. The most frequently played map is Overpass, where Vp have played 11 maps and won 9 of them.

In the pool there is a good Anubis (3-1 on maps), Mirage (6 wins in 9 matches) and Inferno (7 wins in 11 games).

The worst choice for vp is Vertigo. It has 44% wins with 9 matches.

GamerLegion Form

We continue the match breakdown with an analysis of GL's match form. In this fight for life, they will play the number two with odds to win at around 2.8.

After the triumphant Paris Major a GamerLegion gave up in terms of performance. However, they are not weak, otherwise they would look much worse at major tournaments than they do now.

In 2023, GamerLegion didn't show much promise. They played well at local events like Thunderpick Bitcoin Series #2 where they won, CCT West Europe Series #1 where they finished top 2, RES Western European Masters: Spring 2023 where they finished top 2 again.

There was also TOP-1 at Elisa Invitational Winter 2023, but the main achievement happened in May this year. It was then that GamerLegion defied logic and made it to the grand final of BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023, where they defeated the hosts of the tournament - Vitality.

• GamerLegion lineup: acoR, Snax, Keoz, isak, volt.

After a great injury in Paris, GamerLegion lost two of their headliners - siuhy and iM. Newcomers neaLaN and volt are not yet reaching the level of Top 2 Major a, and their KDs are eloquent: 0.64 for the former and 0.78 for the latter.

The first match at IEM Cologne 2023 was against Monte. The Ukrainian club was head to head and shut down their vis-a-vis with a score of 2-0 (16-8 Mirage, 16-11 Overpass).

GamerLegion managed to switch on at the last moment. In the match against TheMongolZ, on the first map GL Ledge were 8-16 up on Mirage, but cameback Inferno (16-8), and closed the series on the dopes Overpass (19-15).

The International was even more interesting against fnatic. On the first map Vertigo GL lost with the score 5-16, but on Inferno GamerLegion played 16-12, and on Ancient they closed the dopes with the score 19-17.

As a result, IEM Cologne 2023 ended with GL in 8th place. They were knocked out by Cloud9, but the result is a good one considering the lineup change.

At Gamers8 Long Sogpeg were matched against Apeks, the other opener of the Paris Major. Both maps gave GL a serious headache, but after dopes on Mirage and a close fight on Overpass GL made it to the next round. However, that's where GL's G8 journey ended at the Top 8, when they lost to Heroic 1-2.

GamerLegion later attended ESL Pro League Season 18 and IEM Sydney 2023. Both tournaments didn't go well: top-20 at EPL, top-8 at IEM Sydney.

ESL Challenger Jonkoping 2023 GL is going pretty well. First Ledge beat MIBR 9-13, and then beat 3DMAX 2-1 in the match of a lifetime.

GamerLegion mappool

The best map GL is Overpass. The team there has 6 wins and 2 losses.

There was also Ancient with 2 wins and 1 loss. Still have Mirage in the pool (57% wins in 7 matches).

On Inferno they are 2-2. Nuke has 1 try and a loss.

Not playing on Anubis and Vertigo.

History of head-to-head meetings Vp - GamerLegion

The teams have not played each other previously in these line-ups.

Predicted result of Vp vs GamerLegion at ESL Challenger Jonkoping 2023

In this match I believe in a confident victory of Vp. GL play not bad, but Vp is still better, as evidenced by the very high performance of the club recently.

Bottom line: Vp.
